Four whole-bodymale PMHS were subjected to inverted head-to-ground impacts that resulted in cervical compression in an attempt to compare the response of whole-body PMHS to component tests performed previously. Peak head forces in the current study (4495 N) were similar to those in previous studies, but differences in timing and magnitudes of second force peaks suggest that differences in constraints and/or boundary conditions affected the dynamics of the impact. While only moderate (AIS 2) injuries were produced in the current study, more serious and severe injuries have been produced previously, which suggests that constraint and/or boundary condition differences also affect injury type and tolerance.
